Sorry Eric , I am not talking about how to write a Java code here! I am giving an example about implicit conversion.

By the way MS SQL Server provide the conversion i talked about:

select getdate() - '1998'

1905-05-17 01:22:08.500 (even it convert the result to a date ;) , i think i normalize it to Julian date format! )

An important point to say here: I am not comparing SQL with Java (Big Diff) , I am comparing what is written in the Ref Oracle provide and what they really implement!!!!!
